A former Marine from Texas who served for seven years has been kidnapped by armed men in Mexico, his family said.

Armando Torres, 27, crossed the Los Indios Bridge in Brownsville, Texas on Tuesday night to visit his dad and was supposed to return Wednesday morning.

Torres’ uncle, Eduardo Torres, says he’s worried and claims he and two other family members from Mexico were kidnapped by armed men.

“A cousin of ours from Mexico contacted his sister, his sister called and told us that he was picked up there in Mexico,” Torres’ uncle told the local NBC affiliate.

Another family member, Patricia Torres, added, “They say when they got there, there were people with weapons and they picked him up.”
